1ヶ月の短期入学をした者です。【立地に関して】カレッジ駅から近く、コンビニなどの昼ごはんを買いに行ける店が多いため便利です。しかしクラスの校舎が二つあり、離れの教室を指定された場合2〜3分ほど歩いて移動をしなくてはいけません。【クラスに関して】11月の間は10人〜15人程、日本人が多く半数以上いました。他には韓国人やブラジル人、中国人の方がいました。これに関しては時期によって変わると思います。お昼時間は40分ほどしかないため、買い弁や食べに行く人には少し短く感じます。【授業に関して】自分のいたレベルは3でした。午前中は文法の授業を取っていなかったため9時40分からのスタート。昨日の出来事を簡単に話したりゲームをしたり動画を見て質問内容に答えたりテキストブックで授業をしたり、グループで短文作成やプレゼン等もしました。1ヶ月に一回レベルを確かめるためのテストがあり、ネット上で自分の成績をみることができます。午後は選択授業でリスニングやリーディングなど自分の強化したいものを選べます。授業の良さは担当の先生によって変わりますが、午後の授業は楽しい先生が多かったので勉強というよりリラックスして英語に触れることがメインでした。選んだレベルが1〜3の授業だったので遊びがメインだったとも言えます。15時には授業が終わり放課後は学校が主催しているアクテビティや追加の授業など選択することができます。【テキストブックに関して】短期の人はネットからテキストブックをダウンロードして見ている人が多くいました。もちろん買うこともできます。【アクティビティに関して】自分は時期的に行けなかったのですが、ハロウィンパーティやクリスマスパーティーなどありました。学校が提携している旅行会社の安く行けるバスツアーもあり、ナイアガラやニューヨーク、シカゴなどなど安い値段で行けるパッケージがあるためオススメします。自分はナイアガラで使用しましたが、他の学校の学生も入り混じったバスツアーで楽しく過ごせました。英語オンリーをセオリーにしており、日本語を話すとペナルティカードに印を付けられますが少し話したくらいではペナルティになることはありませんでした。また、ほんとに困った時は日本人のスタッフさんもいたため相談等はすることができます。大事なお知らせ(送迎時間など)は日本語でしてくれます。
